Saturday Suggestion: Editing and Promoting Resource MN

The Frugal Editor

There are gremlins out there determined to keep your work from being published, your book from being promoted. They ?resolved to embarrass you before the gatekeepers who can turn the key of success for you ?lurk in your subconscious and the depths of your computer programs. Whether you are a new or experienced author, The Frugal Editor: Put Your Best Book Forward to Avoid Humiliation and Ensure Success will help you present whistle-clean copy (whether it's a one-page cover letter or your entire manuscript) to those who have the power to say "Yea" or "Nay." It is a USA Book News award winner, winner in the Readers View category for writers, and received a nod from the New Millennium Indie Book Awards. The promotion for the book also grabbed down the New Millennium's top award marketing.

The Frugal Promoter-Second Edition

The second edition of The Frugal Book Promoter is an updated version of the multi award-winning first edition. It has been expanded to include simple ways to promote books using newer technology--always considering promotion and marketing techniques that are easy on the pocketbook and frugal of time. It also includes a multitude of ways for authors and publishers to promote the so-called hard-to-promote genres. The award-winning author of poetry and fiction draws on a lifetime of experience in journalism, public relations, retailing, marketing, and the marketing of her own books to give authors the basics they need for do-it-yourself promotion and fun, effective approaches that haven't been stirred and warmed over, techniques that will help rocket their books to bestselling lists. You'll also learn to write media releases, query letters and a knock 'em dead media kit--all tools that help an author find a publisher and sell their book once it's in print.
